Default thoughts on Behind Those Eyes?

what do you guys think of the latest Damo song
Behind those eyes?
(that he premiered in Paris last week, even if it's unfinished)

I can't wait to hear it "finished" !

It's interesting, but will it be on the next album...?
I mean, could he sing the song alone, without a girl voice,
or does it mean a girl will sing on the next album with him ?

(sorry my english is not very good)

Wow it's beautiful. Very exciting. And I love the female's voice that's singing with him. Who is she?

It’s okay. It’s nice to hear a new song but maybe not his most inspired work?
It’s not finished, so it wouldn’t be fair to review it as if it were...
I’m getting a bit tired of lines like ‘without the lovers who told you lies’ (wonder if he’s one of them though ) I guess what I’m saying is that I’m missing a bit of self-criticism.

I'm updating this as he seems to have altered the lyrics substantially:


Who are you, babe?
Without regrets?
Without your mother?
And without that dress?
Without the lovers who told you lies.
Tell me: Who is behind those eyes?

Who are you, babe?
When you are alone?
When nobody's watching
And no one is home?
Nobody hears if you laugh, if you cry.
Tell me: Who is behind those eyes?

Who are you, babe?
Without a plan?
Without past or a future?
Dreams of a man?
Who are you now?
Without mask or disguise?
Tell me: Who is behind those eyes?

Who are you, babe?
Without desire?
When the world wants to change you
And put out your fire?
Who are you with when there's no taking sides?
Tell me: Who is behind those eyes?

Who are you, babe?
When you're not afraid?
Of living or dying?
Or being replaced?
When your heart is clear
And your head sees the lie.
Tell me: Who is behind those eyes?

Hey guys, haven't been here for a while, and it's always good to be back! just wanted to write a post about the new lovely song.

I heard it for the first time at the live session and i think it's lovely!
I've collected few performances of the song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A48pG_91-N8 On the boat, along with another new song, "Your Astronaut"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TevnPK24o_s beautiful performance a month ago from Roma

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RU63Zi0c9ro Paris 2017, at 4:50 he says that the song was around before O


Also, there was a 2014 performance, but I didn't manage to find it.
